The Manor for a late breakfast with Patrick at City Diner.

Still one of my favorite places for a meal.

The City Diner at The Manor is still one of my favorite restaurants to visit.  I met up with Patrick and had a late breakfast there.  I enjoyed an American an omelet and a rack of pancakes.  I think the breakfast there is quite comparable to Black Cat in District 1.

Okay, I will admit it, I tend to spend most of my lunches at Mimosa, 88 Bui Vien Street (Pham Ngu Lao) for the last 5 years.  I have known some of the wait staff and chef for a really long time now.  The chef is one of the best in the backpacker area in my opinion.  He is really good at Tex-Mex dishes such as my favorite below:

(Something similar to enchiladas)

Today I had lunch at Kedai Shamsudin in District 10.  My first impressions of this restaurant was wow!!!  Talking about good customer service.  The people here are amazing and polite.  The decor was very pleasant and the restaurant was quite clean (when compared to VN.Halal).  It is just a nice restaurant to have a meal in.

Kedai Shamsudin is a halal restaurant catering to Malaysian as well as Vietnamese halal cuisines.  I ordered the 6 piece beef satay and the chicken/beef nasi goreng for the main meal with a Coke.  Okay guys, this is by far the best nasi goreng and satay I have ever had in Saigon.  Three and a half hours later, I swear I can still taste them in my mouth.  I want more!!!   It gets even better, the price for the entire meal was 95,000 VND!  It is a bargain when compared to the other halal restaurants in the city (such as the overpriced VN.Halal).

Kedai Shamsudin is the “Best Halal Restaurant in Saigon!”   Give it a try.  It is about 5-10 by taxi and motorbike from District 1.  They also deliver.
